Former Manchester United player and current Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville recently shared some advice for United's manager Erik ten Hag. As the highly anticipated Premier League match against Liverpool approaches, Neville suggests making a change to the team by giving summer signing Joshua Zirkzee a starting spot.
The Manchester United-Liverpool rivalry is one of the most intense in the Premier League and this Sunday's game at Old Trafford is expected to be no different. Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, have had a perfect start to the season with wins over Ipswich Town and Brentford. On the other hand, United will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Brighton last weekend, after starting the season with a win over Fulham.
Neville acknowledges that Liverpool have been the better team in recent years, but he remains optimistic about United's chances. He confidently states that he would not settle for a draw if offered before the game, despite the pressure on ten Hag to perform. He also believes that Zirkzee, who has impressed in his brief appearances off the bench, should be given a chance to start.
In a conversation with fellow Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, Neville expresses his concern for ten Hag if United were to suffer a heavy defeat. However, he does not see that happening and believes that United have a history of stepping up in important moments under ten Hag. He also points out that after last week's defeat to Brighton, ten Hag needs a positive result to ease the pressure on him and get the season going.
Carragher also weighs in on the upcoming match, acknowledging that Old Trafford has been a difficult ground for Liverpool in the past. He believes that a draw would not be a bad result for Liverpool, considering their strong start to the season. However, he also states that Liverpool should aim for a win, as they are the better team.
In conclusion, Neville's advice and analysis highlight the importance of this match for United and ten Hag. Both teams will be looking to continue their positive start to the season and the outcome of the game could have a significant impact on their future performances.
